Stopped soaking my fries before frying and the difference in 3 weeks shocked me
Honestly I used to soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes like every recipe says, then pat them dry forever. Three weeks ago I got lazy and just rinsed them quick under the tap, dried them good, tossed in a little oil and cornstarch. The air fryer fries came out crispier on the outside and fluffy inside at 380 for 18 minutes, shaking twice. Tbh the soak was doing nothing except making me wait. Anyone else skip the soak and get better results?
